Summer Camp

A recreational day camp with sessions June – August!

Make Your Child a Happy Camper!

Every child dreams of camp–exploring creeks, singing silly songs and frolicking in the forest.

Make your child a happy camper! The Kenai Watershed Forum is happy to offer the week-long day camp Fur, Fins, Flowers, Feathers and Fun at Soldotna Creek Park. What better way for your child to spend a summer day than by exploring Soldotna Creek on a bug hunt, flipping over logs to see decomposition in action or pretending to be a forest predator on a hunt?

Each week-long session will include games, crafts, lessons, songs and most importantly, lots and lots of fun!

Different Sessions for Different Ages

Camp Hours: 9am to 4pm
Children are asked to be dropped off at Soldotna Creek Park and ready for the day’s activities by 9am. Children will be finished with their camp day and ready for pick-up at 4pm.

To ensure campers get the most out of their experience, we offer different sessions for different ages with slightly different focus areas.

Thank You!

An investment in youth is an investment of our future. ConocoPhillips and the US Fish and Wildlife Service have embraced this philosophy as well as the mission of KWF by their cornerstone support of KWF Summer Camp. It is through their generosity that KWF Summer Camp came to fruition its first year. Their support helped launch the program and has given KWF the opportunity to build a solid foundation for this camp. We are most appreciative of their continued support of KWF and our programs.
